3. Talk less and listen more.

It shouldn’t be about you always. listen to what your partner has to say. Even if it will hurt you. Learn to listen first before you air your view, have good listening skills. The problem with most couples is that they fail to listen so they eventually fall to conclusions.

4. Check your tone.

Respect is very important in marriage. What kind of tone do you address your partner with? Do you use harsh tones or words on your partner? Be mindful of your words, weigh your words and tone before you talk.

The way you address your partner determines how close you guys are and will be.

9. Touch yourself often

This is not all about having sex. You must not be uptight all the time. Touch yourselves while in bed, kiss each other often, play together, stare at each other romantically before you sleep.

13. Communicate often.

When there is a communication gap your marriage will lack proper intimacy. Once you notice any sign of distance from each other, make sure you create a room for you and your partner to discuss.

The more you communicate the easier for you guys to talk about your problems and Marital challenge and also the way forward to stay married.

A little more piece

It’s one thing to be married, it’s another thing to stay married and also stay happily married. Most couples don’t achieve the last stage of staying happily married. So in the quest of seeking happiness, they file for divorce.

A lot of couples struggle to stay in love in marriage. Practice those things you did while dating, don’t push them away because you are finally married.
